RE: Diesel to Gas Power Observation

Getting gas with my Fifth Wheel trailer in tow is a pain...been there done that.
This should at least go the normal gas vs. diesel debate...what y'all think? ten pages before it gets shut down...LOL

RE: Generator question

This is how I travel occasionally as well. The built in allows you to be fully self contained with ease.
Pin Box mount is not a bad idea, but not quite push button convenience. You have to protect the genset from the elements somehow? You have to get out the cord, put it away, start the genset outside....maybe you have remote start? Hopefully you have electric start and not pulling a cord!
Im not sure if I like the pin box mount idea. nice out of the way to carry it but if you had to run the ac in a truck stop or road side pull out that would make a awful rumble in the bedroom haha.
Adding fuel when the truck is disconnected? Maybe a carrying place...but seems to be a pain in the arse! Back rack or in front of the hitch like I use to do is better.

RE: Generator question

I ordered my Pinnacle with the Onan 5500 propane and 3 x 40 lbs. tanks. Love it and works perfect what I needed. That 5500 gen is very quite and smooth.

RE: Vanleigh shutting down

I looked at them before buying my current unit...ok quality, but like a lot of Tiffin products the interior design looked dated...old...10 years ago or more! JMHO

RE: mounting the tireminder booster under a fifth wheel triler

I've used the same booster on two fifth wheels, both mounted in basement storage with no issues.
I used the hot wire from the basement motion activated light for power on my current unit

RE: How many of you own an EV?

Will not be viewing any further comments so save your gas
I see you consistently like to post and not engage with discussion.....
For everyone else...
Toyota is way behind in their BEV development and production and put there resources in hybrids...so his comments may be a little self serving. But, I agree the California mandate is crazy and will likely change at some point.

RE: Why not jack trailer under the spring plates?

That is what I do...better than one of those ramps for tire changes which doubles the weight on one wheel and axle....just saying :)

RE: Ford 150 Lightning owner review

We get it already. The electric Ford F-150 is not up to towing. Do we have to have thread after thread stating the same thing over and over.
Why don't we just sit back and wait until something new comes out and then evaluate it?
It doesn't matter how many reviews get posted, they all say the same thing. No surprise. No argument.
We get it. The Ford F-150 is not a realistic tow vehicle. Nothing new.
(See how annoying it is to keep reading the same thing over and over???)
Thank you!!!!...it does somethings really good and others not so good.
Example...Just like I don't run my Ram 3500 Dually at the race track because it would suck...Doesn't mean it can't tow like a train.
FYI...I have an EV...I understand what is good and bad about it...I don't need others to just hate on EVs because its "new" technology and they are scared of change...and NO I'm not saying get rid of Gas or Diesel...EVs have their place and will evolve and may turn into something ground breaking.

RE: WFCO WF-8955 amps in absorption mode

I've had a couple of WFCO on previous campers...the solution if you really need boost mode is to change out the converter to either and IOTA or Progressive Dynamics with a mode switch so you can manually select boost.
I was able to manual get my WFCO to go to boost by turning it on with a battery checker connected (resistance load of @ 50 amps)...but this is not practical to do and didn't even work every time.

RE: Stolen Ford 350

Typical American Greed. Not surprising. I have always done a very thorough VIN search plus other history search including visual inspection of VIN plate and door plate of all my trucks and trailers because of dishonest dealers just about everywhere. Made sure numbers on paper work matched actual VIN and door plate. Trust Us We are Your Good Neighbors, yada yada yada.
You think greed only exist in America?
A Statement like that sounds like you don't like this country?

RE: Jayco Dealer Recommendation

"Looking @ Jayco and Cedar Creek. Any recommendations for them?"
I looked at both...Cedar Creek is nice, Jayco Pinnacle and North Point have more feature and are nicer....but they also cost more.
Can't go wrong with either."
